How David Cameron saves FTTP in the UK.

In as yet undrafted plans for an internet tax which were triggered this article, may be considered by David Cameron. A tax of £20 per month per connection will be applied on all internet connections deemed to be running at faster than 5 mbps. The tax will pay for connecting the country to FTTP. Government economists believe the greater uptake of FTTP will cause a 6.5% increase in productivity. The increased tax take arising as a consequence of the increased productivity will solve the NHS funding crisis. The public will be able to claim tax relief for their internet tax provided they can prove it is used for educational purposes only. This will be a temporary tax scheme which will be cancelled once 95% of the country of connected via FTTP.

Yeah, I don't think so, re-nationalise the telecoms industry first, oh wait, I forgot, conservatives, they sell of stuff and tax the hell out of it afterwards...
